Rultor.com Automates Routine DevOps Operations

Rultor.com, a new cloud service for DevOps automation,
was recently launched by TechnoPark Corp. It is unique in that it is the only
service that interactively enables the smooth integration of programming
teams with DevOps processes.

Right after its official launch in July 2014, Rultor
served over 50 open source projects in Github, including
Jcabi, Qulice,
and ReXSL. It also automated its own
DevOps operations, releasing new versions of itself to CloudBees
(this is where its core module is hosted).

Yegor Bugayenko, chief architect of Rultor, says
that "the service is highly scalable and flexible, since it uses
Amazon Web Services EC2 platform for server machines, and runs every
build in its own Docker container."

The use of Docker is one of the most interesting features of
Rultor. This technology enables
a perfectly safe isolation of running builds from different projects.
Every project in every build has its own Docker container, that can
be configured individually and gets deleted immediately after the build
is finished. This use of Docker is exclusive to Rultor
and makes them a key player in the market of continuous integration hosted solutions.

Another unique feature of Rultor is that
it doesn't have a management panel. Instead, it communicates
with programming teams through their existing issue tracking systems.
At the moment, Github issue tracking is the only system Rultor
supports. In the nearest future, JIRA, Trac, and Basecamp will also
be supported.

TechnoPark Corp. fully sponsors the project, which is why
Rultor is absolutely free both for
open source and commercial projects.
